A member asked:

I have tingling in my urethra following treatment for a uti with cipro (ciprofloxacin). also my lower back is a little achy. should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Treatment should typically have resolved symptoms and there may be infections that cipro (ciprofloxacin) would not fully treat. I would get evaluated again by the doctor who treated you with the cipro (ciprofloxacin).
